A process for leaching an ore that contains nickel and magnesium includes mixing a microorganism that is capable of producing an organic acid, a nutrient, and an ore that contains nickel and magnesium for a period of time to dissolve the nickel and form a solution containing a nickel salt and a magnesium salt, separating the nickel from the magnesium in the salt solution.

A review has been completed of current and proposed processing technologies for nickel laterite ores. although future supplies of nickel depend on laterite ores, their processing is inherently energy intensive and expensive as, unlike sulphide ores, they cannot be significantly upgraded, meaning the entire ore needs to be treated in the process.

Abstract. in this research, the biological leaching of nickel by indigenous fungi isolated from indonesian limonite was studied to develop a feasible technique for microbial recovery of nickel from low grade nickel ore. xrd analyses indicated that goethite, alumina and quartz were major mineral composition of the ore.

Aspergillus niger is a prominent fungi that has been used for bioleaching of nickel laterite ore and commercial production of citric acid. series of shake flask bioleaching assays have been conducted to study the effects of ore type, ore particle size distribution, solid percentage, and substrate volume percentages as well as sulphur addition on the nickel extraction from indonesian laterite ore.

Citric acid has been proved to be the most effective organic acid for nickel extraction from nickel lateritic ores. citric acid can be produced from fungal metabolism by utilizing several types of carbon source as fungal nutrient. in the current experiment, production of metabolic citric acid from metabolism of aspergillus niger by using corn starch as a carbon source was investigated.

therefore, the indirect bioleaching of low-grade nickel lateritic ores using fungal metabolic organic acids by the chemoorganotrophic fungus aspergillus niger was established in this study with the following reasons, (1) chemoorganotrophic leaching microbes are able to grow in a less selective environment and have a high tolerance compared with acidophilic chemolithoautotrophs so .

Effect of acids type on leaching. fig. 1 shows the percentage leaching of nickel for different acids at time intervals of 40, 80 and 120 h at a concentration of 1 m. from the figure, it is evident that oxalic acid is the most efficient leaching agent compared to the other two acids (figure 1).this may be due to the fact that the extent of dissolution is dependent on the acid activity (tang and .

Fungi are heterotrophic and do not perform photosynthesis (glazer and nikaido, 2007). these microorganisms secrete hydroxycarboxylic acids which dissolve nickel .

Heterotrophic fungi involving the use of fungal metabolic acids has been attempted. higher recoveries have been attained in the field of metal extraction from low-grade non-sulphidic ores using .

In this research, the biological leaching of nickel by indigenous fungi isolated from indonesian limonite was studied to develop a feasible technique for microbial recovery of nickel from low grade nickel ore. xrd analyses indicated that goethite, alumina and quartz were major mineral composition of the ore.

fungi can produce certain organic acids, amino acids, and other metabolites, which are involved in leaching from ores (table 1). these metabolites dissolve metals either by metal ion displacement from the ore via hydrogen ion or by chelates creation and solubilize metals.

for such ores, research is being done on the use of heterotrophic bacteria and fungi. in this case metals are dissolved by organic acids or complexing or chelating agents produced by the bacteria or fungi . studies on silicate nickel ores have shown that nickel is dissolved by organic acids produced by microorganisms.

microbial leaching of non-sulphide ores, especially oxides and silicates, represents a new these ores, including laterites, chemoorganotrophic leaching using fungi is necessary. this is because the organic acids metabolically produced by fungi have a dual effect of providing hydrogen ions for acidolysis of minerals and complexing metals due to their chelating capacity .

the results showed that extensive low-grade laterite domestic sources are generally amenable to bioleaching when micro-organisms were cultivated in the presence of the ore. nickel recoveries were as high as 60% using hydroxycarboxylic acid producing strains of aspergillus and penicillium codes a3, p2. cobalt recovery achieved was around 50%.
